A shaft of sunlight on the woodland floor at Lough Boora Discovery Park illuminated this beautiful creature, the Pink barred Sallow moth. What a beauty @peatlandecr.bsky.social @irishwoodlandtrust.bsky.social @claireissimo.bsky.social @charleenhurtubise.bsky.social

This beautiful weather showcases the beautiful colours in the bog right now. Bog Asphodel has changed from its yellow bloom to its deep orange fruiting form. It does the heart good to be out there @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @claireissimo.bsky.social @peatlandecr.bsky.social @janeclarke.bsky.social
